The 7 best moments from the EPIC Godzilla trailer

The trailer goes a little deeper into the story, with scientist Joe Brody (Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston) growing more and more angry at an apparent cover-up of the beast's existence.

As more and more disasters occur, Brody is heard yelling: "What's really happening is you're hiding something out there."

We also discover that nuclear tests in the 1950s were not tests at all – they were attacks on Godzilla in an attempt to kill it.

The trailer has been heaped with praise, and here's our pick of the best bits...

DISASTER: A crashed plane sits on fire on the ground [YOUTUBE]

CRASH LANDING. A plane lies on the ground, smoke and flames pouring out of it and piles of cars surrounding it. Clearly this is not a technical fault, and a sign of the carnage to come...

RAMPAGE: Buildings topple in the distance [YOUTUBE]

DESTRUCTION. In the distance, buildings topple and collapse as something heads on a rampage as a woman rushes kids out of school to safety. It's safe to say that this isn't just an earthquake.

NO ARMS: The Statue of Liberty stands in ruins [YOUTUBE]

LANDMARK IN RUINS. The Statue of Liberty is a wreck after Godzilla strolls into town. The sight gives a sense of just how big Godzilla is going to be.

NUKES: Godzilla was targeted for attack in the 1950s [YOUTUBE]

ANTI-GODZILLA NUKES. Bombs are shown that were used to attempt to kill the creature in the 1950s, disguised as nuclear tests on the Pacific. The nukes feature a 'No Godzilla' drawing.

FIRST GLIMPSE: Godzilla is massive, if this is anything to go by [YOUTUBE]

FIRST LOOK. The HUGE bak of Godzilla breaks the surface of the Pacific Ocean, and we see our first glimpse of the sheer size of the creature that is about to cause havoc.

HELLO THERE: A door closes on the sight of the beast [YOUTUBE]

HEAD SHOT. We see our first glimpse of Godzilla's face as it roars ferociously next to some skyscrapers. Sensibly, someone is closing a door on the sight.

BREAKING BAD: Bryan Cranston is the scientist fighting to prove the existence of Godzilla [YOUTUBE]

CRANSTON IS BACK. Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston leads the cast in the epic monster movie - and after Breaking Bad ended last year, it's great to see him again. Probably without any blue crystal meth in his pockets.
